A 3-year-old girl is being evaluated for developmental delays. Her parents report that the pregnancy was uneventful and that the delivery was without complications. The girl reached all milestones normally during his first year. Length, weight, and head circumference were all well within the normal range during the first year. During her second year, the pediatrician noticed deceleration of head growth, and her parents noticed a gradual decline in her fine motor abilities, frequent hand-wringing movements, and loss of social engagement. Her movements became poorly coordinated. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
A. Asperger disorder
B. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
C. Autistic disorder
D. Pervasive developmental disorder, not otherwise specified
E. Rett syndrome
